Over Ten Thousand oftho Saints in

Pittsuuho, May 27. Long before
the hour for calling tlio national Pro
hibition convention to order delegates
had assembled In music hall at the
exposition building, and thousands or
Prohibitionists from all parts of the
country were present. The galleries
and floor were crowded. Never boforo

The gold standard faction, as it Is
called, scored the first victory In the
national committee when It elected
A. A. Stevens, of this state, to act as
temporary chairman.
SITUATION LAST NIGHT.
That there will bo a split In the
prohibition party. The split will come
over the money nlank In tne platform.
Asyet scarcely a word has bcon saldi
regarding prohibition. Tho money
question has been the all-absorbing
topic of discussion. It has become u
bitter and acrimonious debate. Tlio
bitterness of feeling Increases hourly,
nd when the convention meets, It
Promlsestobo a llttlo battle of ex
termination. If a gold standard
Plank should bo adopted In the plat
form by the eastern delegates, then
those favoring tho coinage of silver at
ratio of 10 to 1 will secede, If on
the other hand, the so-called free
zer delegates secure the adoption
of a free-coinage plank, then
jhe gold standard crowd will
leave, and should the convention fall
to declare for woman suffrage, the
feminine portion of .the convention
IU sever Its connection with the

There were three caucuses. One
was held by tho women, who decided
that unless a suffrage plank was In
serted In tho platform they would
lcavo the party; then the free-silver
wing caucused and declnrcd their
leader should run upon a "broad
guairo" platform, or none at all, and,
finally' the single-Issue crowd ouino
together and announced that neither
free stiver, woman suffrage, nor any
thing else but prohibition should be
mentioned in tho platform.
Thero arc thousands of visitors
from all parts of tho country, who have
como to watch the proceedings. It is
said by some of tho enthusiastic be
lievers in prohibition that over 10,
000 people will attend the convention.
It was decided at the caucus of the
free-silver delegates to support O. W.
Stewart, of Illinois, for permanent
chairman of the convention, tho Rev.
Charles II. Bcntly, of Nebraska, for
president, and J. II. Southgate, of
South Carlonla, for vice-president.
During tho progress of the caucus, the
gold standard faction was .severely
denounced, and several of tho speakers
had souio harsh things to say regard

A. A. Stevens and Chauncey L. Dunn,
of California, said ho had a minority
report to offer. Ho would present the
namo of E. J. Wheeler and moved Its
substitution. He was ordered to sit
down by Dickie, but refused. Much
uproar followed. Finally for harm

name after the police had been called
In to eject unruly delegates. Wheeler
was loudly cheered and thero were
denunciatory cries against what a
"broad gauger" termed an outrago and

dress tho convention. He briefly
reviewed tho history of the Prohibi

Republicans would at their conven

for free silver. The Prohibition party
should now come forward with Its

Sad Ending oflthe Queen's Birth
day Celebration.
Victoria, B. C, May 27. A terri
ble accident occurred here yesterday
afternoon. A sham fight and review
was to take place" at Macaulcy Point,
near Esqtilinault, and crowds were
making their way there by every
route.
All the trains were packed.
Two cars left government street
with more than 100 people. The llrst
one got over Point Elllco bridge,
which crosses Victoria Arm, safely,
but when the other was about half,
way over tho middle span of the
bridge, about 150 feet In length, gave
way and tho car plunged Into the
wator 100 feet below. The car was
completely submerged and nil on
board were drowned, with the ex
ception of some of those who were
standing on the platforms and who,
escaping Injury from falling timbers,
managed to save themselves by using
tho floating ruins of the bridge, and
thus got ashore. Number of bodies
have already been brought up, and
the work of Identification Is proceed
ing. It is a dllllcult matter, as a great
many of the bodies arcthoe of visi
tors. When the bridge broke there were
sovcral carrlngosjipon it, and these
also were prcclpltuteTl.lnto the water.
Superintendent Wilson was driving
one of these, and his five children
with htm. Ho succcced in saving
himself and four children. The fifth,
a little boy, was wedged between somo
Iron bars and was drowned.
The sad affair has cast a deep gloom
over the city.
As soon as the news of the accident
reached Macaulcy Point tho review
was brought to as speedy a termina
tion as under the circumstances was
possible, and the sham ilghtwas aban
doned. OHEWSOME DKTAILS.
A Post-Intclllgcnccr special from
Victoria says:
From the brightness and joy of
holiday festivities Victoria was yes
terday plunged Into tho darkness and
horror of a terrible accident, which
sent a thrill of unutterable sadness
through the thousands of guests and
tilled tho city with mourning. An
electric tramcar on Its way from tlio
city to the scene of the military
parade and sham battle crashed
through tho Elllco point bridge and
without a moment's warning, 01 souls
were plunged Into eternity. This was
tho morning of tho closing day of tho
carnival of sports with which Victoria
has for nearly n week been doing
honor to tho queen's birthday, and tho
management had planned to make it
the climax of tho celebration.
A military parade has jccn arranged
to tako place on Point Macaulcy, the
rugged promlntory that half girdles
the harbor to the west of the city,
and, besides tho large number of blue
Jackets at tho fortifications and from
the war vessels anchored at Esdul
malt, several companies had como
over from Vancouver Sunday evening,
pitched their tents on tho grounds in
front of the new parliament buildings
and had put In tho day yesterday
drilling for tho maneuvers of today.
Tho parade was to be followed by a
sham battle, In which all the troops
.and marines were to take part.

Governor Lord Lays Down Law On
Strikes.
Sheriff Doaue of Columbia county
was In consultation Willi Governor
Lord and Attorney Genernl Idleiiian
until a late hour Tuesday night. At
1 n. in. this morning tho conference
ended. The sheriff came to Salem on
the overland trnln to get a detach
ment of mllttla to quell riotous fish
emun on tho Columbia river.
Nearly a hundred Danes, Scandina
vians and Italians arc obstructing
net fishing In the river there and
threatening peaceful citizens engaged
lu tlshlng there with violence and de
struction of their property. The
sheriff Is badly scared, Is iiuablu to
cope with them aud wants troops.
The Governor asked him to mako an
allldavlt lu compliance with Section
31, military act of 1805, as follews:
In case of any breach of tho peace,
tumult, riot or resistance to thu pro
cess of tho stnte, or Imminent danger
iiiorcor, any county juugo or any
county, on the application of tho
sheriff or tho mayor of any city, may
call for aid upon tho command lug onl-
ccr of tlio national guard stationed
inorein or aujaceni inereto. tiio
commanding olllccr upon whom tho
call Is made shall order out, lu nld to
tho elytl authorities, the military
force, or -any part thereof under his
command, aud shall report what he
has done aud all clrcumstnnces of the
case to tho commander-in-chief, who
may conlirm or countermand his
action.
Tho governor construes this law to
mean that a case must first bo laid be
fore the county judge, vho shall, If
necessary, call upon tho brigadier
general of the National Guard, who
may order out tho mtlltln. If his or
der is confirmed by tho governor, tho
latter then Issues a proclamation to
that effect.
Sheriff Doano could not mako an
affldavlt that he had called upon the
county authorities at all and henco
tho governor declined to tako tho re
sponsibility of incurring tlio cxpenso
of ordering out the militia. He says:
OOVKHNOK LOUD ON STRIKES,
'The striko situation on tho lower
Columbia Is verv serious. It may bo
laid down as fundamental law that
every man has a right to engage lu
any lawful occupation and bo
protected therein. If a man
don't want to work, ho
need not do It, but ho litis no right to
Interfere with any other man who Is
engaged in a useful and honnrablo
employment. It Is the duty of tho
state to protect any citizens In doing
what the law authorizes, In earning
a livelihood for his family. If any
combination sought to prevent him
and the civil authorities were unablo
to cope with them, I should deem It
my duty ns governor to Invoke the
military arm of the state lu order to
secure tho faithful execution of tho
laws."

OVER FAMILY TROUBLES,
The Fiend Succoods In Making His
Escape,
San Jobk, Cal., May 27. The most
horrible crime In tho history of
this county was perpetrated at
Campbell, a small place about six
miles southwest of this city, this
morning. Colonol R. P. McGllncoy
and wife; tltolr daughter, Mrs. James
Dunhnin; James Wells, a son of Mrs.
McGllncey a hired woman, Mlnnlo

his son and Brlsco, wore In town last

earlyiln tho evening, from tho ract
that tho .1)0(1 les of tho women wore

It Is surmised that they must havo
been killed an hour or two before tho
return of tho men. Dunham employed
various methods of killing. Ills wife
with whom ho had apparently lived
happily, was strangled. Clothes wcro
round crowded down her throat.
Minulo Shcsler's skull was split open
with an axe and clothes stuffed In tho
turoat. Dunham's most brutal work
was on Mrs. McGllncy, her head being
terribly crushed with an axe.
